Well naturally but when it suits they merely change the law. Parliament and by extension the government are the supreme authority in this country. Courts are merely a mechanism and not the panacea or elixir you appear to think they are.

It seems most of Europe want to follow our lead and have their own Referendum. Unsurprisingly, lame ducks including Croatia, Romania and Portugal prefer to maintain the status quo. Strangely however, Greece has also seen calls for a Referendum?

Haven't I heard what? I've heard Trump threaten to withdraw protection for NATO countries, remove US soldiers from European soil and demand that Europe spends more to protect themselves, all the while making goo-goo eyes at Putin, what have I missed?

What's the solution for high-speed security cooperation if existing agreements have to be renegotiated?

If Ireland and Scotland choose to remain, what practical measures will that entail? Not just for security, but also for commuters and businesses?

The EU is a toothless entity Carana, it has never managed to end any conflicts, that is usually down to the US/UK alliance. Look at the Crimea recently and its pathetic posturing, how many more regions will Russia simple walk into and adopt?

The UK has never needed the EU to protect us, in fact it is the EU itself which is the danger. We are very capable of maintaining alliances with each and every country in the EU without that organisation deciding tactics for us.

As for Scotland and N Ireland, the majority of the population did not vote to remain which speaks for itself. Scotland is currently enjoying a bit of a Nationalist revival but 1.5m hardly equates to much in a population of 6 million. As for N Ireland, the remainers were mostly Nationalist and Republican voters who saw BrExit as something negative in an all Ireland context so no change there then.

The UK and western Europe is the US' front line of defence just as it was in 1945. If Europe were to fall into the hands of some anti US rogue State then the US itself would be in great peril. Work it out for yourself.

The majority of the UK did not vote to leave, so what point are you making with the above?
